Making the Moment

I could go on & on about Brett, Anna, and the entire Making the Moment team. I mean, talk about the ultimate hype team! They made me feel so beautiful and calm. And I think the best part about working with them was that I never ever felt rushed or like I was on someone else's time. Anything I asked for, they made possible. My now-Husband and I first met with Brett in December of 2020 and had the most wonderful time chatting with him. From there, we did not look for a single other photographer or videographer. His work was exactly what we were looking for - timeless, artistic, unique and he has this amazing ability to capture his couples in their purest form. I feel like our wedding portfolio (engagement session + full-day coverage of our wedding) perfectly captures my relationship and I couldn't be more grateful to them for being there on our day. It just felt like we were hanging out with our friends all day with Brett, Anna, and their team. Our bridal party LOVED and raved about Brett all night & so did my guests/family. I couldn't recommend them enough. What they've given us is priceless!

My husband and I got married a little over 6 months ago and I have nothing but great things to say about the Making The Moment team! Ever since our first video call to meet Brett and figure out how to move forward/what we wanted, etc., we were confident that we would be very happy if we chose to work with them! Now, after having received our photo gallery and some video edits as well, I can confirm that if we would make the same decision again. Firstly, they are a kind and fun team who made the our event days easier, lighter and really made the photo sessions fun! They were also very kind to all of our family and guests and this was something we heard a lot about. The photo and video work is amazing. The first glimpse was our same day edit, which was masterful and so quickly and intricately designed by Anna! It was so special to have that at our reception for not only our guests who may not have been able to make prior events but also for us as a recap. Brett and the rest of the photography team are so good at what they do! Both at making people comfortable during photo sessions, coming up with cool ideas and the finished products themselves. We are very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for an amazing photo/video team!

We had an incredible, personalized videography experience that is highly worthwhile. Anna and the whole team were patient with us from the beginning as we discussed the kind of video we wanted and what elements were/were not important for us. What is unique about Making of the Moment is they really want to customize the video with what matters to you and are there to help pull together something memorable and special to the couple. On the wedding day, the team was so nice and easy to work with (and patient!) and while they captured all the important moments, they stayed behind the scenes and didn't make you feel like you were just being recorded. We are so grateful to them for the great work they did and couldn't imagine a better video for us. If you're on the fence about a video, I highly recommend working with them - it will be worth it!

We hired Making the Moment for photography, videography, and our live photobooth. Gabriella and Sara were the photography and videography leads and did a phenomenal job with their teams. They were able to accommodate the logistics of 3 ceremonies and 2 receptions in one crazy day and made sure to capture beautiful imagery and video throughout. I wish we had read our contract prior to signing a bit closer, but we didn’t realize until after the wedding that the agreed upon delivery timeframes were quite long. I think it’s not uncommon in the industry, but I do know of photographers and videographers that are able to deliver same-day edits or even a thorough preview within days of the event. Ultimately, we received our full set of photos within 6 weeks and our video after 5 months. The wait was well worth it, we are very satisfied with the final products.

Edric and the Making the Moment team were EXCEPTIONAL to work with, and really made sure that I felt comfortable throughout the whole day. It's crazy how much of your wedding day is spent with your photography team, so you really need to find someone like Edric who is kind and easy to work with! He is also very encouraging and artistic, he scouted a few locations around our family farm that I didn't even know would make for such gorgeous photos! Edric also went above and beyond - A few family members and the groom needed assistance with their tie, and he jumped right on making them look their very best! His smile and encouragement helped make the wedding a day to remember! They even invite you to their office to review the images with your photographer after the wedding, a nice personal touch!

Brett and his team were AMAZING! We had a 2 day wedding ceremony, so naturally, I was stressed about the timeline and schedule of events. Brett took that stress away entirely and put together the best schedule for us and really focused on what was important to us for both days. Brett made us feel comfortable and we love the candid moments that he was able to capture, as well as the creative ones! The whole MTM crew has been so friendly, kind, and wonderful to work with. We had a great time with them and cannot wait to see our wedding photos and video! Thank you MTM for EVERYTHING!

I was finishing getting ready when I saw Brett & his team walking up the driveway, right on time for our wedding. I instantly became nervous as it felt like the true start of events, having a camera on me non-stop. But when Brett walked into the room it was as if everyone became calmer in his presence. His kind, soft-spoken manner radiated positive vibes into the room. The entire team introduced themselves to everyone in the room and then instantly felt like they were part of the family watching the events. Everyone was so polite, hard working, personal and punctual. When I had to change my venue last minute, they went with the flow without complaint. Our guests were engaged and Brett made a point to make sure at the end of each event there were not any specific pictures missed. The whole team encouraged us to live in the moment and our photos reflect the happiness of every minute. I could not be happier with my photos, I do not believe anyone else could have captured exactly what I wanted with such ease and only a virtual meeting beforehand. Hands down the best photo/video team ever!!

Working with Brett, and the Making the Moment team, was a dream from the very beginning! At our first meeting with Brett, he made me and my family feel incredibly welcome. Throughout every step of my wedding planning process, he calmed my nerves. At our engagement session, he made us laugh and feel comfortable so we could get the hang of the picture-taking process. His expertise about weddings and the best way to plan out our day was so helpful. The day of our wedding - he made everything fun! He took the stress out of the day, and we were confident he was capturing every special moment from our day. The pictures he took are so beautiful! We are absolutely thrilled we chose Making the Moment to work with for our wedding!

This team is incredible. You get what you pay for a we paid a decent amount but the teamwork and coordination, preparedness and everything was incredible. I always felt very organized with them- they gave a detailed step by step timeline for the day and it kept us on track. They are an amazing team and I would highly recommend them.

I really can’t describe how amazing Making the Moment is. The whole team makes you feel so special and they actually care about the couple they are working with. Their customer service is unmatched. Edric and Ashley were our photographers on our wedding day and they did such an amazing job! They put so much thought and creativity into our photos. They were there the entire day also! From when we were getting ready until the very end of our reception. It’s rare to find photographers who are willing to do that. The investment in this team is 100% worth it!! Also - their LiveBooth is so fun! You feel like your on the red carpet. Ashley was hyping everyone up while taking the pictures and made it so fun! Seriously book them!

We were one of the couples who was unfortunately impacted by covid and had to postpone our event. When we initially reached out to discuss our options we were confused by the response but later received a personal call from the owner, Brett made sure to secure coverage for the date that lined up with all our other vendors for our rescheduled event. He also made adjustments to ensure we were assigned a photographer that met our expectations and would work well with us. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was chaos but whenever we voiced a concern, Making the Moment did everything possible to ensure we were taken care of. We were married (finally!) last Saturday and had a fantastic experience with the entire team. We plan to leave another review after receiving our photos and videos but we are confident we will be impressed with what they put together. We hired this company for their dramatic and artistic style but their flexibility and kindness has been a major bonus.

MTM ARE TRULY G.O.A.Ts!!! Sara, Anna and Brett were absolutely AMAZING for our reception and wedding day. If you are looking for artists who capture all of the perfect and imperfect moments that really capture the essence of a wedding day, look no further. You want joy? Check. You want happy tears? Check. You want laughter? Check. You want love? Check. You want all of the moments captured you didn't know you wanted? Check. To be sure, this is an investment, but it will be the BEST investment you make for your wedding. Sara's photos had everyone crying again. And get the video. The cinema team creates a perfect narrative to fit you as a couple. It felt personal and authentic, just like the MTM team. We loved them so much we booked them again for our post-Covid big, bash celebration in 2022. Why are you looking anywhere else? Book them!

I literally have no words on how to describe what Brett, Anna, and the rest of the team was able to do for me and my husband. First, I'll be honest, it is truly an investment - however, it is truly probably the most best investment we have ever made. I felt like part of a family, from the countless number of emails, phone calls, texts ... the list goes on and on. When we first started the wedding planning process, we had originally hired a different photo & video team; after we had gotten our engagement photos done by them, we knew we had made the wrong decision. After we got our first set of engagement photos back, we decided to start looking into a new photographer. I had first talked to Brett when we first started looking for a photo & video team - I loved their idea of the cinematic videos, and I felt like their photos told a story. I just can't explain it - they just make sense. When we finally went in to talk with Brett for our first visit, literally every. single. thing. we hated about our old photographer they said they didn't do. The best part, WE NEVER TOLD THEM THAT WE HAD HIRED ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER! They thought that law school had gotten the best of us, and we were just super busy. When we left that day, my husband and I knew we had found our photographers. They have several different packages you can choose from, however, we went with several packages that included a cinematic video, trailers, full length videos (more on that later), photos (wedding & engagement), and books. The cinematic video didn't just include the day of the wedding, but a separate day that the video team comes and videographs - think of it like a video engagement session. For ours, we decided to have a party (our bridal party party as we called it) and Anna came out and filmed for a couple hours. The cinematic video also includes interviews, so we were able to have some interviews taken at the bridal party party too. This was so much fun, and the whole entire team was amazing. Sadly, COVID has changed us all, and one of the things that happened was we had to change our entire reception (literally change venues and tell people they couldn't come) about 5 weeks before our wedding - that was no easy task, but because of MTM, we were able to live stream our ENTIRE WEDDING (both ceremony and reception) and they worked with us every step of the way in planning everything. I am extremely OCD, I need control of EVERYTHING - this was probably the first time that I was able to breathe easy; I knew that the MTM team was able to do what we needed them to do. It was flawless - everybody who wasn't able to be at our wedding because of COVID was able to watch. And people who still wanted to watch the reception were able to, even though we had to limit it to bridal party, plus ones, and parents. The best part? We were able to rewatch our entire wedding and reception the day after we got married. I will never be able to thank Brett for that. I could probably continue writing on for hours because they were truly that good. Everybody loved their energy, their passion, and how they made everyone feel included and loved. I don't think I could have asked for a better team on my special day and throughout the process. If you are considering Making the Moment, please hire them. They are 100% worth it - they will make everything better, and they will remind you that it is your day and to enjoy it.

There should be far more than just 5 stars to leave for companies that blow you away like this one did. I still remember exactly where I was sitting when I came across Making The Moment’s website. I was recently engaged, and started googling photographers. And let me tell you... a lot came up. Too many for someone who doesn’t like to really make a ton of decisions. I knew what I wanted and needed to find it. Not a single company/person had a website like MTM.. it blew me away! I was crying at wedding videos of people I never even met, and laughing at all the funny and hidden detail in their website! They were the only company I actually scheduled an appointment with and once I met them I didn’t need to see anyone else. I was completely blown away by every single aspect of the company; scheduling, team, ownership, creativity, uniqueness, professionalism and their level of care for each client. It was only after I booked with them that I learned my co workers were in local networking groups with Brett the owner, and they told me I made the best damn choice. We did our engagement photos with them and LOVED how it came out. And then came the wedding. Brett was our photographer and got to know everyone’s names in the wedding party, their relationship to us and so much more. His entire team was everywhere but unseen all at once. To me, the photos and video were the most important vendor to hire because it was the one “bill” that would last forever. We saw our photos and video a few days ago and I am utterly speechless. Anna was our videographer and found an amazing story to tell with the hours of footage she had to work with. My family actually sees the video today and Anna, you’ll never know how touched they’ll be, but know that you made a lasting impression on us all. Brett and your team: the photos are absolutely stunning. You captured everything from the moment you walked in til you guys left. There are photos of things and moments we didn’t even know happened. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. If anyone reading this wants to hire a company who will treat this day as if it was their own; this is it. No one will care about your wedding day as much as you, but trust me when I say, it felt like Brett, Anna, and the team cared just as much if not more.

The most easy going, talented and friendly group we could have asked for! Photography and videography were both better than we could ask for. Would recommend and use again!!

Simply the best. Having the Making the Moment team capture our day was hands down the easiest decision throughout the wedding planning process. Their work, organization, passion and attention to detail make them stand out. Not only did they help us navigate COVID-19, they were patient and understanding as we had to change dates, venues, and scheduling details up until the week before. We cannot say enough about the incredible communication and ability to jump on the phone from the entire staff at MTM. It’s been two years of planning and changing and we feel fortunate to have had this team of talented and kind humans in our corner throughout it all. We had two ceremonies in one day and for two people who don’t love being in front of the camera and were mentally drained from wedding planning, Brett, Sarah and DJ were the security blanket feel of experienced professionals we needed to help pull off the day. They have incredible vision and humor while understanding the logistics for our day made things a little more complicated. Their energy is so positive and helped us make it through bee stings, weather challenges, family member requests and so much more. Not only did we love working with the MTM team, our families and guests loved them too. We cannot recommend them enough!

One of the BEST decisions my husband and I made for our wedding was deciding to work with Making the Moment for our photo and video needs. Since day one, we were completely sold on the work that this team of talented artistic professionals create. I’m definitely one to do my research, and after reviewing a number of portfolios, nothing quite compared to their awesome imagery. Not only is their work stunning, but their communication and overall support is fantastic – the pre-planning and absolute attention to detail gained our complete trust, which on your wedding day, is an invaluable piece of mind. Brett as Creative Lead / Primary Photographer kept to the timeline we had worked together on and very efficiently directed our party and made quick adjustments for day-of requests. Anna as Cinema Lead along with the help of 3 other team member, I’m sure caught all of the best footage (we can’t wait to see it all!!). Both Brett and Anna were professional, kind and best of all, FUN. Photo capture can be a big portion of the day, and they kept things moving smoothly and allowed us the freedom to laugh and be candid with our party. Big shout out to Amber as well who teamed with Anna on our engagement session. She has a natural talent for keeping things casual and capturing real personality. Overall, Making the Moment is the best. You cannot go back and “redo” the wedding day, so trusting that you’ve got a great team, giving you their full attention and bringing years of experience and creative vision, is very important. I cannot thank them enough. -Jessie & John

From start to finish, the team at MTM was an absolute joy for us to work with. Our photographer, Sara, has such an artistic eye and captured our wedding with creativity and brilliance. She easily wrangled our 20-person wedding party and took the reigns so that we could all be present and enjoy the day. The images she captured are treasures. Anna and the videography team wove our love story together with beautiful imagery. They immortalized incredible moments from our wedding ceremony and reception, and I couldn't be happier with our fusion film. You'll be blown away by Making the Moment! They display professionalism, friendliness, positivity, vision and incredible talent!

We researched several photographers and from the beginning Making the Moment’s photos stood out to us. Their images seemed different, more authentic and just better than all the others. Our photos were extremely important so we are SO glad that MtM exceeded all of our expectations. Amber and Ron arrived in the morning and didn't leave until almost midnight so they were with us every step of the way. They were fun and friendly and helped us to relax so they could capture genuine pictures (getting your picture taken can be so awkward - you want someone you can be "you" around). The quality of the pictures themselves was amazing. We got everything we wanted - from emotional candids, to formal photos to unbelievable creative images. We especially loved the artistic shots. They're very fun and so cool. Overall we loved working with MtM and couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

They were professional and well-intentioned. In the beginning and up to the wedding day was a good amount of planning and communication. This definitely made it seem like the wedding day would go smoothly from a photography prospective. I chose MTM because they have artistic photos on their website that are unique, and their expensive cost made me feel like they would work hard to get the shots needed. I was disappointed, as maybe 2-3 of the photos in my collection are artistic and/or creative. On a positive note there are lots of photos to choose from. The day was very chaotic (as many weddings are) and it rained. The communication the day of was horrific. The photographer was late to our first on site location, leaving my husband and I sitting in our bus alone for 30 min waiting. Then, the photographer did not come into our rain venue because he didn't want his equipment to get wet. This wasted even more time, and we didn't get one shot of my wedding party. Luckily my videographer was able to catch some stills of my wedding party during her video portion. I would not use them again, however we are happy to have any photos at all from the event.

We wholeheartedly recommend Making the Moment!  Amber was wonderful, attentive, and personable.  She not only listened carefully to what we wanted but also took the time to get to know us.  Amber, Anna, and the whole MTM team made us feel comfortable on a day when we were already excited and anxious.  They captured every special, intimate, and hilarious moment that occurred without being intrusive, and our wedding images and film truly encapsulate the emotion of the day in a way that will help us remember our wedding day and that feeling forever.

We used Making the Moment (and in particular, Amber!) to photograph our November wedding. From our first meeting with Amber, we knew that we had selected the right company (and photographer!) to photograph our wedding. Amber is absolutely incredible and such a fun person to work with. To be honest, we weren’t particularly excited about being photographed, but Amber changed all of that. Specifically, because we loved hanging out with Amber, she not only helped us have a great experience while being photographed, but (dude!) her very warm and hilarious personality drew us out of our shells and put us at ease in order to capture extremely natural and fantastic images. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Amber completely knocked it out of the park. What’s particularly unique about Making the Moment (other than their exceptional talent) is that they strive to capture your wedding day in a very real (but absolutely gorgeous) way. The final product isn’t just a bunch of pictures of you and your bridal party lined up and smiling (although those pictures are included, obviously). Instead, the final product pulls a one-two punch. It both tells the chronological story of your wedding day in still images -- capturing the moment you were sitting on the couch laughing with your bridesmaids, the way that you and your groom looked at each other for the first time, and the way that you and your guests killed it on the dance floor, to name a few -- while ALSO capturing the rollercoaster of emotions and the small moments that made your particular wedding day special and unique. This allows you to not only have fantastic images from your wedding day for the rest of your life, but it also enables you, in many ways, to relive every part of your wedding day over and over forever and ever -- not just what happened, but all the feelings and thoughts that went along with it. From our point of view, Making the Moment was worth every penny. Actually, just getting to hang out with Amber was worth every penny, so the amazing photos we got on top of that were just the icing on the cake. After over a year of detailed (and, at times, intense) wedding planning, if we could give one piece of advice to brides and grooms out there in the Northeast Ohio area, it would be to go book Making the Moment as your wedding photographer. Now. You will be so happy that you did.

MTM was absolutely incredible! When we started wedding planning, amazing photos were at the top of our "must have" list. We couldn't have made a better choice than MTM. We were lucky enough to have Amber as a photographer. She did our engagement session and wedding, and let me just say, she is phenomenal. Not only is she insanely talented and has an eye for creative/unique shots (she even made an outhouse wall look amazing) she is hilarious and makes everyone from wedding party to parents feel so comfortable. We can honestly say she started as our photog, but became a great friend. Every single photo was amazing, unique and captured peoples' personalities to a T. They certainly did the "formal shots" but where they really shine is in the creative and candids. I love seeing the personalities of my friends and family. We got the LiveBooth too and it was a massive hit - even the parents who were against photo booths loved it. THANK YOU, AMBER AND MTM.

Best in the business.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about MTM? If you need pictures, get MTM! If you're having an Indian wedding, get MTM! They truly are the most organized, thorough and experienced group I was in touch with, especially when it came to indian weddings! We NEVER once had to worry about asking them/telling them what we needed... .and any requests/suggestions we had were so warmly discussed! We had Sara as our main photographer and she is just incredible! The entire team that was there made us feel so comfortable that we truly felt like we could be our (weird) selves around them. Our same day video was amazing... we can't wait for our preview. THANKS MTM!

Wow. We wish we could capture in words how we felt about this company and working with Amber. My husband and I are a bit awkward when it comes to photos, and Amber made us unbelievably comfortable and we had such a great time taking photos! This company is extremely professional, but also extremely personal and makes you feel right at home. We are from out of town and they took the time to FaceTime us when we were attempting to decide on our photographer, and made sure we felt a part of the family from afar. This is a special company and I highly recommend using them. And we just want to take the time to shout out to Amber for working so hard to make our special day perfect. She kept us both so calm with the schedule during the day (we both were kinda freaking out with nerves!), and even to the very last minute she made sure to capture some late night photos we requested. She is fun, outgoing, and just a good person through and through. Thank you for everything Amber and the Making the Moment Team!

We can’t gush enough about MTM. One of the best decisions during wedding planning was going with them! Every single person working here is so passionate, sweet, FUN, respectful and accommodating. Even the months/weeks leading up to our wedding were so easy w MTM - they are all so detail oriented and organized which made it very stress free. Brett was in constant communication about every detail/ schedule w us leading up to the wedding. Not only that but the week of our several days long Indian wedding they kept us laughing nonstop and pumped up! We loved every minute of working with each one of them - it was such a blast! By the end of our wedding we didn’t feel like they were a vendor but felt more like friends/family. Such an amazing and talented group of individuals !! You can’t go wrong with MTM ❤️

Amber was so amazing. She so much more to help us throughout the day than just photography! Can't wait to see our photos soon.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Amber, Mark and the entire crew at Making the Moment. They have been wonderful through each step of the entire process. Wish I could just hang out with them every weekend!!

Choosing MTM was easily THE BEST decision we have made for our wedding. Amber is absolutely AMAZING. She is truly a magician with the camera and captures moments that are so true and unstaged. We decided to go all-in with MTM: photos, video, photo booth, albums, engagement photos. From our engagement photos (which Amber drove down to Columbus to take with us), to the planning leading up to the wedding, to our wedding day and even post-wedding. We loved working with Amber and the MTM team every step of the way. We felt so confident putting our trust in Amber and Sara on our wedding day. Plus, they are just all around GOOD VIBES to have around on the wedding day...happy, excited, laughable. Amber was so willing to get the photos we wanted, and we also gave her the freedom to take us wherever! She was out on the dance floor getting photos of us and our crazy friends (while I'm sure also getting rained on by White Claw). Her dedication for capturing our day was unparalleled. We've only seen a few images so far (which are AMAZING), and cannot WAIT to have our premier with them in July! Our engagement photos turned out better than I had ever hoped! So candid, and natural and REAL. If you're looking for super staged, forced smiles and statue like photos, look elsewhere. If you're looking for candid, real, fun and beautiful photos, look no further. The MTM team is unlike any other! Their editing and ability to capture realness is incredible. And they're the type of people that you honestly just want to be friends with. We can't recommend them enough!! Thank you Amber, Sara, Brett & team!

Making the Moment was wonderful! They were lovely to meet with when we were looking for photographers and their products were clearly superior at competitive prices. Brett and Renee were easy to contact and they worked around our hectic schedule. They also worked well with our wedding coordinator and were on time to everything. I'm so excited for the pictures! They were also super go with the flow - when things got a bit hectic, Brett, Sara, Anna, and their team were on top of it. I never felt stressed or rushed with them and they encouraged my husband and me to be ourselves and relax. Would recommend them highly to anyone!

Amber was our lead photographer for our engagement session and wedding day. She is truly amazing at what she does. She was so great to work with, so caring, so fun and truly loves what she does! Our favorite wedding vendor BY FAR. Amazing photos, and a quick turn around time! Truly in awe of what this amazing photography team did for our wedding day.

We had the pleasure of working with Making The Moment (Sara and Brett) for our engagement photos and wedding photography and could not have been happier with the process and end results! From the beginning we felt welcomed into the MTM family and clicked with Sara which made the whole process more fun and meaningful. The entire MTM crew was knowledgeable, professional and accommodating -- especially when it came to communication and scheduling as my (now) husband and I were located out of town. Sara's sweet, positive (and hilarious!) personality made everything, including the wedding day, fun and relaxing. And the photos turned out amazingly! Creative, artistic, inclusive, beautiful. We are incredibly thankful to have worked with MTM and would highly recommend them to others!

WOW! My husband and I could not be happier with our Making the Moment experience. The entire team at MTM is a true pleasure to work with. Over a year and a half we were able to chat with several of their staff and everyone is fab & friendly. Plus they have a very cool space for meetings and your final picture reveal. Marcus took our day-of pictures with the help of Justin. It was quite easy to be comfortable/informal around them all day and our bridal party was at ease. I think that helped to capture some awesome images. Marcus delivered on the images we had planned for but also took feedback on the spot, as the day never goes 100% how you imagine it. :) We were blown away by our final images. Like, near tears when we watched the little custom reveal MTM set up. Marcus captured our day perfectly and we could not have asked for more. We were thrilled to show off our image gallery to friends and family. Lots of "whoa! awesome!"s. Thank you to MTM!

Our entire experience with MTM was incredible. From our initial conversations with the team, to Tyler's chill personality and excellent eye, to Renee's response from the office. We are so pleased with the experience and the images. They truly do "tell the story" of the wedding.

We used/are using Making the Moment for our wedding in August 2019. We worked with Marcus and Tyler for our engagement shoot in September and we're totally in AWE of the photos. Renee in the office is go great and such a huge help. She kept us informed with costs and scheduling, and has been just as excited about our photos as we are. At our engagement shoot, Marcus totally lightened the mood and made us feel comfortable enough to just be ourselves in front of the camera, which was something we were really worried about. I am so excited to work with him for the wedding and can't wait to update this review to say, again, how amazing they are. We are so blessed to have their help and support!!!

Amber and her team were rockstars on our wedding day! They captured every single moment and I absolutely cannot wait to get our images back. Amber took the time to get all of the images we requested and more, even when the unexpected weather threw us for a loop she was spot on with fun ideas and a new location for all of us to take pictures in. From what I've seen so far from the live booth images we had from the wedding reception, it will be nothing less than spectacular when we receive the images ourselves. I would strongly recommend making the moment to anybody looking for awesome wedding photography!

Making the Moment was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding day! We had Gabriella and Autumn and everything couldn't have worked out more perfectly. The groom and I were put at ease, we had fun, and I felt so beautiful that I got over all of my nervousness! I can't stress enough, for prospective wedding couples, that feeling comfortable with your photographer will make or break the day with you. We spent 13 hours with Gabriella, plus many emails and calls planning the timeline. If I didn't like her as a person, it would have been a dreadful experience. We used someone else for our engagement photos and he was rude and awful and terrible to work with. I LOVED having Making the Moment with us for the wedding day.

Best team ever!! We loved their thoughtfulness and excitement over our big day! They made us feel so special and the pictures turned out great!! We loved Sara and Anna and their team!!

We absolutely loved our photographer and assistant from Making The Moment, they were amazing and so fun. They did such a good job! Our photographer Marcus took tons of photos and captured the photos I asked him to. He also listened to my thoughts / concerns and made us laugh a lot, which made everything even more fun. They were awesome. Haven't gotten the photos yet but I know they're going to be amazing, they do incredible work. Highly recommend!!

I cannot say enough about Making the Moment and this team. Our wedding was 7/7/18 and Brett was our photographer. Brett was an absolute pleasure to work with. The level of service and professionalism with this team beyond exceeded my expectations and I was completely blown away. They know exactly what they are doing and how to do it. Our wedding was a fairytale and I cannot wait to see what they captured! Also, a huge shout out to Renee Dunn, the backbone of the team, who helped prepare all details of our special day! xoxoxo forever and always to you all!

When wedding planning I knew that I wanted really unique and beautiful photography and was willing to invest. I found MTM on a Pinterest page and loved their style. We worked with Amber on the day of our wedding and she was really incredible! We traded a few emails before the wedding so I could share the list of 'portrait' style pics we wanted with our family (I'd recommend this to every bride) but on the day of she showed up ready to rock. From her taking the reigns on really creative dress pictures to making my husband and i feel really comfortable - we were so impressed. The photos turned out great and I'm so glad she was there to capture such a special day! I would also recommend doing the photo preview at their office after the wedding because its a really fun way to look at all your pictures!

We decided before anything, that our photographer was going to be our biggest expense- it is the only thing we would have when our wedding day was all said and done. A coworker of mine had used making the moment for their wedding and I was amazed at their pictures! We got assigned Amber and the fit could not have been more perfect. She is sincere, enthusiastic, witty and just the sweetest person you will ever meet. By the day of our wedding, she didn’t seem like someone we hired, but like one of our beloved guests. Oh yea, and she is an uh-MAZING photographer. My husband and I kept saying “one picture. We just need one picture we both love.” I love every single one. She captured every moment perfectly! Making The Moment does exactly what their name says. Simply- THE BEST.

Marcus was our photographer and he was absolutely amazing! Right from the beginning he made us feel like we would be working with our best friend. My husband walked out of our first meeting with him and asked me if he can be in the wedding and I had to tell him no because he had to be our photographer! He adds a personal touch to everything he does and made us feel like we were the only people he was working with. He is organized, great attention to detail, and overall has such amazing passion for what he does, which makes him so amazing! When we got our photos we were simply in awe of how great they turned out. Making the Moment will be doing all our future photography needs from here on out. Not only is Marcus amazing... so is their team! Everyone we worked with or just talked to was awesome! Highly recommended!!

Making the Moment was an amazing team to work with! Our photographer was Marcus and he instantly got our vision from the first time we met. He made the wedding planning process easy for us with his organization, quick responses, and creative ideas. Our whole wedding timeline depended on when pictures were going taking place throughout the day - Marcus instantly provided us a very accurate timeline when we requested it, which was 4 months out from the wedding (a lot of things can change within 4 months, but the timeline was spot on!). On the wedding day Marcus was a blast to work with. He was there from the beginning of the day until the very end which was impressive! He still had the same energy from when he first met us in the morning as he did when he was packing up at the end of the night. The whole day was filled with smiles and laughter ... mostly because of his cheesy jokes between shots :) We can't wait to see the finished product! We also had Jeanna for the Live Photobooth - I'll be honest, I second guessed having the photobooth pretty much up until the day of the wedding. However, it ended up being a huge hit! All the guests made sure to get some fun shots in and it was the talk amongst our different groups of guests when they were uploaded to the website to view. A handful of people even made the pictures their profile pictures or uploaded them to facebook to share which was fun to see! Making the Moment was awesome to work with and I would recommend them 100 times over to anyone in need for photography!

Making the Moment and our photographer, Marcus, were amazing! First and foremost, the photos were absolutely gorgeous and creative - not at all your typical cheesy wedding photos. They work really hard to make sure they get every shot (jumping on the dance floor and crouching around corners), while still managing to be very discrete and not distracting from the events. We could also tell how much care and detail went into each of the hundreds of photos in our final set. Marcus and MTM were also great to work with. They were extremely organized and helped us stay on track of what info they needed from us when. There were never any hidden costs, and never felt like they were just trying to sell us on more stuff. They also hosted a viewing party for us to see the photos for the first time at their offices. We thought it might be corny but it was actually a really special way to experience the photos for the first time, and a great way to see them on a much larger screen than we have at home. Could not recommend them more highly - one of the best wedding decisions we made!

We had a wonderful experience with Sara and Making the Moment. She was super easy to work with, organized, and enthusiastic about our big day. We had a relatively tight timeline for pictures, and she was completely accommodating of all of our preferences. She was also super fun to hang out with all day! It was very obvious that she cares about and loves what she does, and that was reflected in our pictures. They turned out amazing and we truly couldn't be happier with them! Thank you again, Sara!

Hiring Making the Moment was the best decision we made. Planning a wedding from out of state can be a challenge so it was very important to have trustworthy and reliable vendors. Making the Moment goes above and beyond with their incredible ability to transcend that typical “vendor relationship”. From accommodating our facetime “interview” request to developing deep, personal connections and delivering the most STUNNING images – beyond anything I could have dreamed – they provided five-star service throughout. When you see the sign in their office that says “Come as Clients, Leave as Friends”, it’s no joke. They absolutely mean it. Sara, you are such a talented photographer and beautiful human being. Getting to know you and establishing a friendship over the 15 months leading up to our wedding made your presence during our weekend so seamless and wonderful. Jack and I, as well as our families and friends, felt so comfortable around you and the camera – an ease that really showed in every image. You have a gift, sister! Thank you for capturing so many amazing, heartfelt, once-in-a-lifetime moments. (I’m not crying, you are!) A photographer is an investment not only in your day but in the memories you will cherish forever. Being able to re-live our day – with all the feels!! – every single time we look at our images is priceless. It’s all in the details and they are pros. We obviously cannot say enough about Sara and the creative team at MTM – simply the best! Kate + Jack Reynolds #growingreynoldstogether

Making the Moment & Marcus were the first vendors we booked before anything. From the second you walk into their office until the day you get to view your image premier, you feel like you are their only client. You laugh (a lot ), you cry (happy tears, ALOT) and you just enjoy your time spent with them. And I can't even begin to comment on the talent...I mean, I don't know if it's possible for anyone to be THAT skilled at their profession. But Marcus and the entire team are just that- super talented. Every time we look at our images, we re-live the best day of our lives all over again. That feeling in it of itself is priceless. Thank you to Marcus and the entire Making the Moment team for being hands-down the best, most first-class, innovative and talented group of people we hired for our wedding. Can't wait to work with you again!!

WOW - words don't express how happy my husband and I are with Making the Moment! From booking them to engagement photo shoot, to wedding day and seeing our wedding day pictures, we couldn't be happier and more impressed by this bunch of MTM people. Vince was our photographer and captured every moment, was easy to work with, and made us feel at ease. Renee was great about keeping the communication constant with reminders, emails, and phone calls - I never felt out of the loop or like I was missing anything. The level at which they photograph, work with their clients, and truly make a connection with you is what sets them apart. Yes, you will pay more than the average photographer, but what you get is unmatched. Even with our wedding reception at The Arcade (where they've shot many weddings before), Vince created new photos that he hadn't done before so we had unique images. Hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

We cannot even put into words how extraordinary Making the Moment is. They are INCREDIBLE! Photography was a top priority for us. We wanted to hire photographers that were talented and creative, while also having experience with Indian Weddings so we didn't have to explain which parts of the ceremony were really sentimental. MTM is gifted in all these areas and so much more. Marcus was our lead photographer for our special day, and we worked with Sara, Brian, and several other team members that are all wonderful. Since we were planning our wedding from out of town, Marcus was very accommodating to our schedule and made sure we FaceTimed and had several phone calls to plan out the day. He really took the time to get to know us and all the details about our wedding and you can tell how passionate he is. What we didn't expect? The energy, excitement, and laughter that the team brought on our wedding day. They were filled with so much positivity, which makes you feel completely relaxed for your pictures. Marcus kept us on schedule the entire day for over 15 hours while never making us feel rushed. He had very creative ideas he knew he wanted to try and capture and helped guide us on our shoots so we felt comfortable in front of the camera. We just received our pictures yesterday and they are breathtaking! Like spectacular. Unbelievable. Stunning. Words cannot even describe how amazing they turned out. We were really surprised when Marcus included a video with our pictures. It was the perfect way to view our first wedding pictures together and really special. We are so excited for our fusion film and storybook to be completed! We are so incredibly thankful to have worked with Making the Moment and have our priceless memories captured beautifully. Hire them, you won't regret it, and your pictures will be stunning. STUNNING!

They are so much fun! Making the Moment made every step of the wedding planning very easy for us. We were impressed with the staff's talent and creativity. They made sure we felt comfortable voicing any concerns or questions. I would suggest this to a couple who loves photography and wants a unique approach to wedding photography. You can expect them to make the wedding details seem like a breeze.

I am writing this review before having seen the full set of finished photos, but I can speak very highly of both my wedding-day experience with Making the Moment and with their Live Photobooth! Vince, our photographer, was fantastic. I was confident he could orchestrate the morning's activities, and he did just that with no issues. We got all the "getting ready" photos, a very nice "first look," and all the creative photos with our large wedding party pleasantly and efficiently. It was a relief to know I didn't have to worry about wrangling everyone or missing out on moments I wanted to be captured throughout the day. He then took lots of candid photos during the dancing--I can't wait to see them, but if flashes in your face while jumping around with your friends isn't your thing, just let him know! The Live Photobooth was an AWESOME addition to our wedding, and everyone loved seeing all the pictures posted by the very next Monday after our Saturday event. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for! In our experience, having it set up just at the outer edge of the dance floor area worked perfectly to get people dancing on through. I am so happy we found Making the Moment!

I could not have asked for a better photographer. Making the Moment made us feel so very special from our first consultation up to our wedding day. Marcus was our photographer and he is incredible. He did our engagement photos which were amazing and we received a ton of compliments on them. He was able to capture every vision we had from photos with our dogs, rollerblading to tandem bike riding. Marcus was very organized and helped a immensely when it came to the flow of our big day. Marcus made sure that everyone was where they needed to be and made sure our wedding day ran smoothly. I truly believe the deciding to have MTM do the photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we have made and we highly recommend them! We cannot wait to see the beautiful images Marcus has captured from our wedding day. Thank you!!

PERFECT! From our engagement session through our wedding day, everything was amazing! Sara was our photographer and she is just so cute and so sweet and so perfect for us! She really helped us to open up and be ourselves in front of the camera and it showed in how great our photos turned out! The whole company in general is great at communication and doing whatever possible to make sure that their clients are happy. Absolutely wonderful to work with!
